Mid-Term Report with President Tim Litfin

The Program on January 8^th was the same as a club assembly. During the meeting, President Tim Litfin discussed what has happened since he took office July 1, titling the program “Mid-Term Report”.

Each of the current directors spoke briefly about their area, focusing on the changes or improvements that have taken place during the half-year. Marnie and Woody told us that programs for the remainder of the year are planned with a few openings in mid-spring. Dick G. talked about the 26 MHS seniors involved in our club’s STRIVE program. Karen told of our successes in community service, and reminded us that the dictionary project is coming up next. Bob Boyer talked about our get-togethers, including the Christmas Party and Thirsty Third Thursdays.

In his talk, President Tim listed a number of changes and updates that have improved the club. A full list is shown on the website. Highlights include a new mission statement for the club, new logo, new budget lay-out, set up an investment policy for club funds, and coincidentally increased quarterly dues by $4.00.
